It's probably not a coincidence that a documentary that shows Hugo Chavez in a light reminiscent of early American heros like Abraham Lincoln is impossible to find. The only place I could locate it was on google videos. The film follows the democratically elected President of Venezuela through a ridiculous coup attempt that was clearly orchestrated by the US government. Why would the US attempt to overthrow a hugely popular democratically elected president? Because he nationalized the oil business and restructured profits to make sure people in Venezuela benefited from their abundant natural resource. It is amazing the lengths rich people will go to to maintain their wealth. In this case, which I believe to be getting more and more rare, the rich people lost.
